    The game, more inclusive, is sold and fails in sales

    [Horizon Zero Dawn] won numerous awards and sold over 24.3 million units by April 2023, making it one of the best-selling PlayStation 4 games

    Horizon Forbidden West received generally positive reviews from critics, and had sold over 8.4 million units by April 2023

      The difference is 80’s and 90’s conservatives complained about any sexy images as being pornographic smut. The gamegate types only have an issue with hedonism when it’s someone else’s pleasure. Their pleasure, then they better get big booba waifu 24/7 or else it means they’re being oppressed.

      Thing is these types of people are losing, gaming has opened up into so many different niches and different types of communities. You have more small time indie devs via ich.io making games that are either very artistic in expression or done with the goal of showing the perspectives of different groups, Pagan Autogeny for one (pretty much a game metaphor for transitioning).

      You even have wholesome games, which ‘Gamers’ despise, with he focus of unwinding and relaxing as well as even the major gaming industry realizing including more people into games means more money (yes trite capitalist shit) but hey it gets the ball rolling with having more than just angry depressed buzzcut white man as the protag (mid 2010s action protags anyone?).

        Some guy said his ex, an extremely small-time indie dev, slept with five people at games journalism sites in exchange for positive reviews. IIRC he posted it on 4chan, which is the most normal social media to do this on.

        This was used as proof that the wamen were destroying vibeo game.

            More or less. The game she was supposedly getting good reviews for was free anyway. It was always a weird thing to care about when you consider that “video games journalism” was largely just outsourced advertising.

          Actually it might. They’re trying to give it an anti corporate spin which might resonate with normal people.

            I mean, maybe, but they still lead with Woke in that messaging and it’s basically indistinguishable from Ben Shapino saying the Barbie movie will fail, only for it to gross over a billion dollars. It’s old hat and people already have an opinion about it.

                I really think it being a one syllable quip helped it become the go to buzzword. Woke as it’s used now was first popularized by black people primarily, a lot of the push against ‘woke’ comes from white nationalists (who are ultimately driving most right-wing discourse today) and they love co-opting any term possible.

                  The one syllable thing is why I also think it’s caught on. SJW was the previous word and it’s largely dead. Too complicated of an acronym and too direct. “Social justice warrior” sounds too cool.

                Their goal is to trick normal people who aren’t (currently) rabid fascists into becoming rabid fascists. After a certain amount of time, the average person realized that PC and idpol were just buzzwords for the far right, so they needed something new. Le Wokisme is probably not even going to last a decade.

    Last time I checked The Last of Us was so successful they notnonly remastered the 1st but put out a woke AF pro communist award winning HBO series.

    The Last of Us franchise has sold 37 million copies in 9 years

    HBO’s The Last of Us wins eight Emmys, including outstanding guest actor for Nick Offerman’s Bill - Strawberry fields, forever.

    Fellas, I can’t believe girls in these woke games have hair on their skin, that’s so gross and makes them basically men.

    Sincerely,
